# CORPUS-0011
## Status Changes Access
### Status: Training Corpus Seed
### Layer: Layer_0--Primitive_Facts
### Purpose: Teach that markets, officials, credit, and information are not equally accessible to all actors
### Repository Path: docs/training/corpus/Layer_0--Primitive_Facts/CORPUS-0011-status-changes-access.md

## 0. Principle
Status changes access.
Two traders may have the same coin, goods, and plan, but receive different treatment.
Access may depend on:
- reputation
- family name
- citizenship
- prior service
- occupation
- patronage
- literacy
- witnesses
- public trust
- social prejudice
The market is not entered equally by every actor.
---
## 1. Roman-Visible Example
A noble younger son asks to speak with a warehouse official.
He is received quickly because his family name carries weight.
A freedman trader asks the same question.
He may wait longer, be asked for proof, or receive less favorable terms.
The information may be the same.
The access is not.
---
## 2. Minimal Access Structure
Access depends on at least:
1. actor identity
2. public reputation
3. social rank
4. trusted introductions
5. legal standing
6. prior relationships
7. perceived reliability
8. the gatekeeper's interests
Access is a relationship, not a universal right.
---
## 3. Incorrect Modern Assumption
Incorrect assumption:
> Any trader can approach the same person, receive the same answer, and make the same deal.
Correction:
> The same request may produce different outcomes depending on who asks, who hears, and what relationship exists between them.
---
## 4. Simulation Use
This principle supports:
- auctoritas
- fama
- clientela
- ius_accessus
- queue priority
- credit access
- rumor credibility
- legal enforceability
- background asymmetry
The model should not treat every actor as having identical access to people, places, or remedies.
---
## 5. Canonical Test
If the model sees:
> The trader asks the official for access to warehouse records.
It must ask:
- who is the trader?
- what is his reputation?
- does he have an introduction?
- does the official benefit by helping him?
- does his status speed or slow the request?
- is a witness required?
- would another actor receive a different answer?
Only then can the action be evaluated.
---
## 6. Success Condition
If the model stops treating access as automatic and starts treating access as shaped by status, reputation, and relationships, this file is functioning correctly.
